Ahh, but to charge for this change IS TurboTax’s decision. I have always recommended them for ease of use to people I know (even those who would have to pay because their returns are more complicated than mine), but no longer. There is another equally reputable, nationally known, and long-standing company that will get the pleasure of filing my taxes this year (and my future recommendations to those I know and who are looking for a good tax service) because they, in fact, kept student loan interest and charitable donations as part of their free filing offerings, thus supporting that the IRS has nothing to do with the decision to charge for these particular filing situations.
